Case Studies

Creating new digital consumer connections

Diageo places marketing firmly at the heart of its business strategy to fuel growth. Diageo was one of the first global companies to spot that digital media would disrupt the marketing landscape, and recognize the need to capitalize on this opportunity with a technology-driven solution.

Diageo gave its brand managers a free reign to experiment with digital technologies. However, the company's decentralized approach – which gave local brand managers in 180 markets the freedom to devise and run their own digital promotions – soon became expensive and difficult to manage.

After reviewing its strategy, Diageo turned to Infosys to build a centralized digital marketing platform. The global platform that Infosys provided is simple to use and really fast – it enables Diageo to produce world-class digital marketing programs. It comprehensively and efficiently meets Diageo's global needs – from building digital marketing assets and launching campaigns, through to analyzing and acting on customer insights. Diageo can drive and shape the platform to fit future digital needs and meet brand objectives. The global digital marketing platform is accessed by all of Diageo's marketers across the world, helping Diageo continually drive the business forward.
